Closeouts. Your youngster has found a new favorite shoe for outdoor fun in the New Balance Sport sandals. Good for water- and land-based adventures, though any young adventurer will want to keep them on 24/7, the Sport has a quick-drying polyurethane upper with Lycra® lining and touch-fasten closures

Bought these for our young son. He reported they are light and comfortable. However, after just two days of typical wear, the loops of the ankle straps would no longer stick to the hooks, becoming "ir-rejuvenatingly" matted. As mentioned, other aspects of the sandals are satisfactory (and, admittedly, this could be an isolated issue), so if you purchase, just double-check the loop surface before deciding to wear them.

This is my second pair of similar New Balance sandals, the first pair I had didn't have a strap on top like these but lasted a long time. Durable kicks for the summer. I'm a woman and wear a size 7 1/2 and these fit great in a child's size 6.
